I learned some things about my parents yesterday that feel even more bitter and painful today. But then I learned a lot about who I am yesterday that's a little hard to swallow.

I've always believed in found family. Hug your loved ones close.

Sam
Can we see each other? Maybe tomorrow? I saw the movie.

Hazel, Dani
Thanks for holding my hands. I'm still crying but I guess I'll stop eventually.

Zach, Oliver
I saw the movie about my life, or my future, or whatever. And I just wanted to say I love you both.

Caleb
Hug Scottie for me, and then tell Scottie she needs to hug you for me. Happy father's day.

That doesn't sound good.

It's not good, it's the worst.

I'm really sorry. The worst is the worst.

I don't remember it, it didn't happen to me or the people I love. But also there it was happening. So I don't even know how to process it, you know?

Maybe, I don't know...you ever had someone start a rumor about you that's not even true? How do you deal with that?

I probably wouldn't care. But this I care about.

But it didn't happen to you, right? In your heart and mind, it didn't? It's just some shit some director is saying happened. Ugh, I know this probably isn't helping.

It's not really helping but I appreciate you trying.

Sorry. I'm not really the best at strategy.

I'm not sure if strategy is even what I need, but maybe it is.

I think we all need a coping strategy.

Trust me, if I could be seeing a therapist about this, I would be.

We need Doc Samson to show up.

Who is that?

He's a superhero/therapist with long green hair. Good guy.

A superhero therapist?? That's... exactly what we need.

He used to give the members of X-Factor sessions sometimes.

What's X-Factor? Who were members?

It was a mutant team that was government-funded. The original X-Men in my universe founded it, but weren't involved for long. When I was a member, the core team was generally me, Alex, Polaris (Lorna, my half-sister), Multiple Man, Strong Guy, and Wolfsbane.

Was it a close team?

Yeah. Sometimes, anyway.

Who were your friends from that world? Like, if something happened and you wanted to spend time with people to celebrate or commiserate, who would you call?

I'd call Wanda.

Just Wanda?

Or my wife, I guess.
